Tilta Khronos iPhone 18 Pro Max Case - Black

The Tilta Khronos case is an aluminium case (frame of aluminium alloy) that turns the iPhone 18 Pro Max into a compact cine camera. It snaps on, Khronos mounting points with a locking clamp run around the frame for handles, a cooling module, an LED panel or a USB-C hub, and the front takes an adapter for 58mm filters or add-on lenses. The back carries a magnetic ring and a built-in kickstand, and electrical contacts pass power to the accessories. Mind the model: the version for the iPhone 18 Pro is a different product (TK-IP18-PFC-B). The box holds the case, a screen protector and a lanyard. Colour Black.

The Khronos Case for the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Black is a phone case built like a camera cage. It snaps onto the phone and comes off just as fast, with no need to detach the accessories already mounted, and the same Khronos locking clamp you know from earlier generations takes a handle, cooling, a light or a hub. The new generation adds a transparent back with a magnetic ring and a built-in kickstand.

Pro and Pro Max are not interchangeable

This item is made for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. It does not fit the iPhone 18 Pro, which has its own product (TK-IP18-PFC-B). The part numbers differ by a single letter, but the phones differ in size and in button placement, so check the exact model before you order.

Muted colours, metallic finish

An aluminium alloy body with a fine metallic texture, complemented by rubber and plastic, shields the phone from daily wear. Two finishes: Black and Space Gray.

Power routed inside

Hidden electrical contacts are part of the case structure. With the optional Power Handle, power passes through them to the mounted accessories without extra cables.

Existing gear, new phone

Phones change every year, Khronos accessories stay: the LED panel, USB-C hub, cooling module, Focus PD handle and circular wooden handle all attach to the case with the locking clamp.

Filter and lens adapters

An adapter clips onto the frame around the cameras: one for Tilta 58mm magnetic filters or Khronos square filters, or a lens adapter with a 17mm thread or a T-Mount bayonet.

Kickstand and charging

The built-in wire kickstand props the phone up on a desk for watching video, and the transparent back with a magnetic ring lets the phone charge magnetically with the case on.

Back plate as a toolbox

The optional Khronos Multi-Functional Back Plate adds a kickstand, a finger ring, a slide-out box cutter and a lanyard port. Sold separately (TK-IP18-PMBP-B).

Locking clamp and accessory interfaces

Accessories attach to the case with a locking clamp: press the button, seat the part on the pins, release the button. No tools involved, so switching from a horizontal to a vertical shot takes seconds. The case itself carries no native 1/4"-20 thread, cold shoe or NATO rail; you get those through Khronos adapters that snap into the clamp: the Universal NATO Mount carries a NATO rail and a 1/4"-20 thread, the Cold Shoe Quick Release Adapter carries a cold shoe, the ARCA Quick Release Adapter an Arca-Swiss plate for a tripod.

Four lenses through one adapter

The T-Mount adapter takes all four Khronos add-on lenses: the 40mm telephoto, the 16mm wide-angle, the 8mm fisheye and the 10× macro. Changing focal length is a twist of the bayonet. The adapter and the lenses are sold separately.

What to add

The case is the base and the rest is your choice: the Focus PD handle with a battery and focus and zoom control, the Cooling System V2, the USB-C hub with HDMI and an Arca-Swiss plate, an LED panel, magnetic filters, lens adapters, NATO and cold shoe adapters. If you would rather have it all at once, take the finished Street Snap Kit or Ultimate Kit.
